Hmm, yes, I am using the UB build. Didn't realize that. Ok, well, I'll definitely send a note to Wesleyan about this.

I am interested, but I have yet to do anything with it. Years back I did experiment with SC2 under OS9 on my old Mac 8500, 500MHz box. It ran really well! I was mostly changing parameters in Nick Collins' BBCut library, and trying examples from Stephen Travis Pope's tutorials. Holy Toledo... that was like 8 years ago, I'm getting old! The learning curve was steep for me, but it was fun. Another thing I recommend is "Pulsar Generator", a granular synthesis instrument which Curtis Roads made in SC2.

Now that I am not so intimidated by network stuff, I do look forward to trying OSC and maybe MIDI over ethernet. I wanted to understand SC better before I tried SC3, since the client/server model makes it just a little harder for me to figure out what I'm doing. I expect I'll be getting back into SuperCollider this year.

Looking back at some SC-vs-Max/MSP posts, back when I was starting with Max 3 there was a huge object from James McCartney called "Pyrite' which may have been a successor to SuperCollider.

I believe Pyrite was a predecessor of SuperCollider.

the client - server thing is not so hard to understand, and there is good documentation on how it works coming with the package. So don't worry too much Smile
